if your brother's wife has a sister, can you marry the sister? (morally, legally, etc.)

 

Do you have to marry her or???

 

Can't see why not. I don't see a genetic problem, not do I have any moral conviction to oppose marrying my brother's wife's sister.
It would be kinda strange, especially when family disputes were to arise. Not that any of us have that problem right??

Why on earth not?

 

this has nothing to do with me...just a hypothetical thing. But I did think it would be kind of strange for you and your brother to have the same in-laws.

 

oh....i didn't mean anything by it, i was just wandering if you had happend to run into a problem or something?? Hypothetically i wouldn't see why not there's no blood ties or anything...

 

of course you can...haven't ever heard "so, does she have a sister?"

 

But in turn, you ARE marrying your sister.

 

Well marriage implies the sex act so it's all really down to the definition of incest.

In the U.K.

Incest as committed by a female:-

It is an offence for a woman of the age of 16 years or over to permit a man who she knows to be her grandfather, father, brother or son, to have intercourse with her by her consent.

Incest as committed by a male:

It is an offence for a man to have sexual intercourse with a woman who he knows to be his grandaughter, daughter, sister or mother. Interestingly you can do it with your granny if your a fella! I've always wondered if this was an oversight when they drew up the legislation or if the true concern is the production of progeny from the union.

 

There are these three ladies at work. None of them are blood related but all three married these 3 dudes that are brothers....how freaky is that??? They all 3 ride together to work and back as they live like 45 minutes away.
